Ferromagnetic materials are attracted to magnets because their electrons spin and the resulting “magnetic moments” align easily, and retain that alignment even without an external magnetic field. ... Essentially, any alloy composed of ferromagnetic materials will also be magnetic.

Do magnets only attract to shiny things?
No, magnets can attract to a variety of materials based on their magnetic properties, not just shiny objects. Magnets attract objects that contain ferromagnetic materials like iron, cobalt, and nickel, regardless of their appearance.
Why do magnets not attract certain objects?
Magnets do not attract certain objects because these objects do not contain magnetic properties or have free-flowing electrons that can align with the magnetic field. For example, non-magnetic materials like plastic, wood, or glass do not have magnetic properties and therefore are not affected by magnetic fields.
What type of metals does a magnet repel?
Usually magnets attract any iron based metals. Magnets usually only attract or repel other magnets
Do all magnets attract to all metal?
no. They only attract to Nickel, Cobalt, Iron, and certain alloys.
Magnets only stick to?
magnets only attract:ion, nickel and magnesium
Does real gold and silver stick to magnets?
No, real gold and silver are not magnetic materials, so they do not stick to magnets. Magnets only attract materials that contain iron, nickel, or cobalt.
Why do magnets only attract to metal?
Yes and only certain metal or substances that have those metals in them.
Do magnets repel nonmagnetic materials?
Magnets attract magnetic materials such as iron. Magnets either attract or repel other magnets depending on the polarity. Magnets repel diamagnetic materials. Most diamagnetic materials (bismuth, diamond, graphite, silver) are only weakly repelled. Super conductors are strongly diamagnetic, and are more strongly repelled.
Is paper attracted to magnets?
No, paper is not typically attracted to magnets because it is not a magnetic material. Magnets only attract materials that contain iron, nickel, or cobalt.
Why can't a magnet pick up a dime?
Magnets only attract certain kinds of metals, mostly ferrous metals such as iron and steel, as well as pure nickel. US dimes are mostly made of copper with a small amount of nickel, not enough to be attracted to a magnet.
Do your fingers stick to a magnet?
No, your fingers cannot stick to a magnet. Only iron or steel objects will stick to a magnet. Your fingers do not have those materials, so it will not stick to a magnet.
Why are magnets useful for separating materials to be recycled?
They pick up only certain materials and can be used to separate them.
